Ching Ming FestivalFestaval (if you write pinyin, write pinyin 'Qing Ming Jie', dont mix it up - at least I think so)
Today is Ching Ming Festival (清明节, qing ming jie, Tomb-Sweeping Festival), one of the 24 solar terms (二十四节气之一). It comes on April 4th or 5th, 108 days after the Winter Solstice Solstic, which is the 22nd solar term. It is a traditional festival to honor the dead in China. On this day people go to their ancestors' grave to express our (person must agree - you used 'they') mourning and respect for the dead. It is designated as a national holiday since 2008.
Ching Ming means 'pure, clear and bright' - translated literally. Spring arrives as comes and winter dispears departs (use related, similar verbs). It becomes warmer and warmer, trees sprouting and flowers blooming. So it is also a perfect day for touring. What a pleasure to have light and bright clothes on and hike or picnic with several friends in somewhere surounded by a sea of flowers and green vegetations (no plural form).

(1) 'Would rather' is conditional, but in fact you DID stay home, so use past tense.
(2) hahaha guo qing jie??? I went to Taiwan to avoid guo qing jie! It is at first hard to see you have swapped to talking about guo qing jie. I rearranged to sentences to reflect your meaning
